[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5293144, member: 60965"] Session 31, Part 10 Harold paced back and forth, waiting for Sarah to return. Suniel and the others had made enough noise that he'd been worried that they'd blown his plans. It had been hours since they had gone and no invisible assassins had attacked, so he figured he probably hadn't been compromised. It was getting dark outside and Harold was about to go looking for Sarah when the door opened. Harold reached for his weapons but relaxed when he saw it was just Sarah. She smiled at him almost shyly and set a basket full of food on the table, then turned to him, her eyes bright. “I brought you some food, it was the least I could do. I know you have an important mission here, but... do you think you could take me with you when you leave?” Harold summoned up a smile. “Of course, of course. First I just need you to- damn!” Sarah's chest exploded in a fountain of blood as two blades passed through it from behind. A split-second later, Harold [I]stepped[/I] up a level, appearing in another suite, but this one containing three surprised palace guards. They leveled their weapons and fired on reflex and Harold just barely dived to the side in time. He scrambled to his feet, pulled the nearest door open and ran out into a long hallway. Shouted orders and heavy footsteps came from all directions. Three steps further down the hall and a guardsman appeared in the hallway just in front of him. Harold shoved the barrel of the man's rifle aside just as it fired and ran the man through with his stolen blade. As the man crumpled to the floor shouts rang out from down the hall in each direction. Harold [I]stepped [/I]away, ending up standing in a familiar porcelain tub. He shuddered and moved to the door. From the sound of it, several more guards were moving quickly down the hallway outside, doors slamming open as they searched other rooms. Harold cursed and [I]stepped [/I]again, dropping to a knee and reaching out his free hand to stabilize himself on the roof of the factory. Even from the distance, he could see the Palace was swarming with soldiers, but it was guards he [I]couldn't[/I] see that really worried him. [I]I'll have to wait until that dies down to try again,[/I] Harold thought. He watched the palace for a few more minutes in disgust, then [I]stepped[/I] deeper into the building he was in. Minutes later he was curled up in a dingy closet, squeezed into a corner amidst mops, brooms, toolboxes, and stacks of buckets. From the look of it, it had been a while since anyone else had been there and no one would expect to find Harold there. He huddled in the dark and brooded, planning vengeance and murder on Hadral and everyone in her employ... [/QUOTE]
